DREAMSTEER: Latent World Models Can Steer VLA Policies During Deployment Without Any Finetuning

Hanchen Cui, Sergio Arnaud, Arjun Majumdar +5

Pretrained vision-language-action (VLA) policies show promising zero-shot generalization, but often fail under deployment-time distribution shift, leading to decreased robustness a…

Visuo-Tactile World Models

Carolina Higuera, Sergio Arnaud, Byron Boots +3

We introduce multi-task Visuo-Tactile World Models (VT-WM), which capture the physics of contact through touch reasoning. By complementing vision with tactile sensing, VT-WM better…

V-JEPA 2: Self-Supervised Video Models Enable Understanding, Prediction and Planning

Mido Assran, Adrien Bardes, David Fan +27

A major challenge for modern AI is to learn to understand the world and learn to act largely by observation. This paper explores a self-supervised approach that combines internet-s…

Locate 3D: Real-World Object Localization via Self-Supervised Learning in 3D

Sergio Arnaud, Paul McVay, Ada Martin +19

We present LOCATE 3D, a model for localizing objects in 3D scenes from referring expressions like "the small coffee table between the sofa and the lamp." LOCATE 3D sets a new state…

Unifying 2D and 3D Vision-Language Understanding

Ayush Jain, Alexander Swerdlow, Yuzhou Wang +5

Progress in 3D vision-language learning has been hindered by the scarcity of large-scale 3D datasets. We introduce UniVLG, a unified architecture for 2D and 3D vision-language unde…

From Thousands to Billions: 3D Visual Language Grounding via Render-Supervised Distillation from 2D VLMs

Ang Cao, Sergio Arnaud, Oleksandr Maksymets +12

3D vision-language grounding faces a fundamental data bottleneck: while 2D models train on billions of images, 3D models have access to only thousands of labeled scenes--a six-orde…

What do we learn from a large-scale study of pre-trained visual representations in sim and real environments?

Sneha Silwal, Karmesh Yadav, Tingfan Wu +10

We present a large empirical investigation on the use of pre-trained visual representations (PVRs) for training downstream policies that execute real-world tasks. Our study involve…

ASC: Adaptive Skill Coordination for Robotic Mobile Manipulation

Naoki Yokoyama, Alex Clegg, Joanne Truong +6

We present Adaptive Skill Coordination (ASC) -- an approach for accomplishing long-horizon tasks like mobile pick-and-place (i.e., navigating to an object, picking it, navigating t…

Where are we in the search for an Artificial Visual Cortex for Embodied Intelligence?

Arjun Majumdar, Karmesh Yadav, Sergio Arnaud +12

We present the largest and most comprehensive empirical study of pre-trained visual representations (PVRs) or visual 'foundation models' for Embodied AI. First, we curate CortexBen…

Human-Level Reinforcement Learning through Theory-Based Modeling, Exploration, and Planning

Pedro A. Tsividis, Joao Loula, Jake Burga +5

Reinforcement learning (RL) studies how an agent comes to achieve reward in an environment through interactions over time. Recent advances in machine RL have surpassed human expert…
